What Is a £100 Loan?

A £100 loan is a small, short-term borrowing option designed to help you manage unexpected expenses quickly. These loans are typically repaid over 3 to 6 months, making them more manageable than traditional payday loans that required full repayment on your next payday.

Unlike larger loans that require extensive paperwork and lengthy approval processes, a 100 loan can often be arranged within hours. This speed makes them ideal for genuine emergencies where timing matters.

Common reasons people apply for a £100 loan include:

● Covering an unexpected MOT repair or car service
● Paying an urgent utility bill to avoid disconnection
● Replacing a broken household appliance
● Managing a short-term cash flow gap before payday

Through PaydayUK, you can access 100 pound loans from lenders who consider applicants with various credit histories, including those with past credit difficulties.

How £100 Loans Work Through PaydayUK

Getting a £100 loan through PaydayUK is straightforward. Our technology does the hard work of comparing lenders so you do not have to.

Step 1: Complete our online application in around 2 minutes. We only ask for essential information to match you with suitable lenders.

Step 2: We search our lender panel instantly using a soft credit check that will not affect your credit score or appear on your credit file.

Step 3: Compare your matched offers from multiple FCA-regulated lenders. See the rates, terms, and total repayable amounts clearly.

Step 4: Choose the option that suits you or decline all offers with no obligation. You remain in complete control throughout.

Step 5: Receive your funds quickly if approved. Many lenders offer same-day transfers, with some customers receiving funds within the hour.

The entire process from application to funding can take as little as 10 minutes in many cases, depending on the lender and your bank.

How Much Does a £100 Loan Cost?

We believe in complete transparency about costs. Short-term loans typically have higher APR rates than traditional bank loans, but the actual cost in pounds and pence is often much lower than the APR suggests because you borrow for a shorter period.

Representative Example

Our representative APR is 91%. Here is what borrowing £100 might look like in practice:

Amount borrowed: £100
Repayment term: 3 months
Monthly payment: Approximately £38
Total repayable: Approximately £114
Total cost of credit: Approximately £14

The exact rate you receive depends on several factors including your credit history, the lender you are matched with, and your chosen repayment term.

Why APR Rates Vary

APR rates for £100 loans can range from 9.3% to 1,721% across our lender panel. This variation exists because:

● Different lenders have different pricing structures
● Your personal credit profile affects the rate offered
● Shorter loan terms typically show higher APRs
● Each lender assesses risk differently

Always check the total amount repayable rather than focusing solely on APR. This gives you the clearest picture of what the loan will actually cost.

FCA Interest Rate Caps

All lenders in our panel must comply with FCA regulations that protect borrowers. These caps include:

Maximum 0.8% interest per day on the amount borrowed
Maximum £15 default fee if you miss a payment
Total cost cap of 100% meaning you will never repay more than double what you borrowed

These protections mean that even if you experience difficulties, the total cost of your 100 pound loan is legally limited. For shorter repayment options, see our 3 month loans page.

Who Can Apply for a £100 Loan?

Our lender panel considers applications from a wide range of circumstances. Meeting the basic requirements does not guarantee approval, but it does mean you are eligible to apply.

Basic Requirements

Age: You must be at least 18 years old
Residency: You must be a UK resident
Income: You need a regular income of at least £500 per month
Bank account: You must have a UK bank account with a valid debit card
Contact details: You need a valid email address and UK mobile number

Credit Considerations

Having past credit difficulties does not automatically disqualify you. Our panel includes lenders who specialise in helping people with imperfect credit histories.

These lenders focus more on your current affordability than past mistakes. They want to see that you can comfortably manage repayments from your regular income.

However, we cannot help if you are currently bankrupt, in an Individual Voluntary Arrangement (IVA), or subject to a Debt Relief Order. If you are experiencing serious debt problems, please contact MoneyHelper for free, impartial advice.

What to Consider Before Applying

A 100 loan can be genuinely helpful in the right circumstances, but it is important to borrow responsibly. Ask yourself these questions before applying.

Do you genuinely need to borrow? Could you wait until payday, ask family for help, or use savings instead?
Can you afford the repayments? Make sure monthly payments fit comfortably within your budget after essential expenses
Have you considered alternatives? Credit unions, 0% credit cards, or employer salary advances might be cheaper options
Do you understand the total cost? Check the total repayable amount, not just the monthly payment

Frequently Asked Questions About £100 Loans

Yes. Due to the nature of quick loans, we’ve tried to make the process as straightforward as possible. Most applicants for £100 loans have the cash in their bank the same day. You will have the same user-friendly experience whether you’re on your computer or smartphone.

At Payday UK, we don’t believe you should be punished for years because of a simple mistake or poor money management. Our panel of lenders specialises in giving people with an inadequate credit rating access to additional funds. If you’re 18 or over and a UK resident, you have a high chance of being accepted.

Yes, but it will not affect your credit score. Our lender partners will perform a soft credit check that doesn’t show up on your credit report. However, a lender is required by the FCA (Financial Conduct Authority) to perform a full check if you accept their offer. However, if you repay the £100 loan as agreed, it will have a positive impact on your credit score.

The initial eligibility check uses a soft search that only you can see. It will not affect your credit score or appear to other lenders.

A full credit check only happens if you choose to accept a lender’s offer. At that point, the search will appear on your credit file. By then, you will already know you have been matched with that lender.

Many customers receive funds on the same day they apply. Some lenders can transfer money within an hour of approval.

The exact timing depends on when you apply, how quickly you complete verification, and your bank’s processing times. Applications made early in the day on weekdays typically have the fastest funding times.

If you think you might miss a payment, contact your lender immediately. Most lenders prefer to work with you to find a solution rather than add charges.

Under FCA rules, default fees are capped at £15 and total costs cannot exceed double your original loan amount. However, late payments will likely affect your credit score and could make future borrowing more difficult.

No, PaydayUK is a credit broker, not a lender. We do not make lending decisions or provide loans directly. Instead, we connect you with FCA-regulated lenders from our panel.

This broker model benefits you by providing access to multiple lenders through one application, increasing your chances of finding a suitable match.

PaydayUK is completely free to use. We never charge application fees, broker fees, or any other charges. We receive a commission from lenders when a loan is successfully completed, but this cost is never passed to you.

Through PaydayUK, you can apply for loans from £50 to £5,000 with repayment terms from 3 to 36 months. The amount you are offered depends on your individual circumstances and what our lenders can provide.

For a £500 loan or £1,000 loan, the same simple application process applies.

Most lenders in our panel allow early repayment without penalties. Paying off your loan early reduces the total interest you pay.

Check the specific terms with your lender, as early settlement processes can vary between providers.

Yes, we take data security extremely seriously. All information is encrypted using industry-standard protocols. We are registered with the ICO (registration ZA654345) and comply with UK data protection laws.

We only share your information with lenders for the purpose of processing your application, and we never sell your data to third parties.
